Fourth Grade Idea Lab students Dive into Architecture!

• Using model magic and toothpicks, students built a Greek temple that mimics the Greeks admiration for geometry, structure and design.
• Students built Roman aqueducts using K'Nex to mimic the Roman bridge design.  
• They also drew structural forms such as a doric, ionic, and corinthian columns, domes, buttresses, barrel vaults, and pediments and then located them on famous structures around the world.
• They also researched about the Great Wall of China and answered a series of questions about its construction. Then, using recycled materials and graph paper, students created a scale model of the wall.
